Pay off your school pack

.

School requirements can be costly, at a time of year that already requires substantial financial resources. Besides the purchase of school stationery and textbooks, there may be additional costs for uniforms, tablets, admin/registration fees... (the list is almost endless)

Simply Everything aims to make it a little easier by offering parents a way to spread the impact of purchasing textbooks, stationery and other requirements at this time of year.

NOTE: We do not release any stationery packs unless paid in full, but you are able to pay in 2 (or more) payments BEFORE your pack is sent out. Please note that orders are not confirmed unless paid IN FULL.

.

Simply Everything does not have a closing date for orders for Back to School 2019, but we recommend ordering before the 30th November 2018 to receive your school packs in time for the 2019 academic year. We will still accept orders after the 30th November 2018, but some of the items from your packs may be delivered late if we do not have stock. (Why is there no stock when its back to school?)

How to pay your school pack off in more than one month*:

Before you begin - please note that we do not give refunds on vouchers. Vouchers are added to your profile and stay valid for 1 year (12 months) from date of purchase. You can use your voucher for any purchase on our website, not only stationery and textbooks.

.

Determine the value of your textbooks and stationery requirements, as well as any other requirements – school bag, lunch boxes, coolers, water bottles, etc. (If you cannot see your school list under the ‘Back to School’ menu, send it to us at schools@simplyeverything.co.za and we’ll load it for you and send you a link to access it)

Select ‘Back to School’ on the Menu, then click on ‘Pay off your School Pack’. Simply Everything provides vouchers in denominations of R100, R250, R500, R1000.

Determine the number of vouchers of each value that you will require (Eg. R900 = R500 x 1 and R100 x 4 or R650 = R250 x 1 and R100 x 4)

Hover over the voucher of the value you require (We recommend purchasing vouchers to the total of your school packs divided by the number of months you wish to pay over, but remember that any amount that you purchase now is less that you’ll have to come up with in the coming months), then click on ‘Customise’.

Scroll down slightly and complete the customisation field with the following:

School

Grades of the lists you're providing for (in the event that we do have stock available and are able to reserve for you)

Click on ‘Save’ to the right of the customisation block, then scroll up and change the quantity (if applicable), than click on ‘Add to Cart’. If the error pops up about the customisation, make sure you’ve completed and saved the school and grades. (Repeat steps 5 to 7, if necessary)

Click on ‘Continue Shopping’ if you need to add more vouchers (Go back to step 5), or ‘Proceed to Checkout’ if you are finished (Go to step 9).

Repeat steps 5 to 9 on each value of voucher required to make up your required voucher value (Eg. R900 = R500 x 1 and R100 x 4 or R650 = R250 x 1 and R100 x 4). When finished, click on ‘Proceed to Checkout’. This will take you to your cart.

In your cart, you will see all the vouchers you added. Please verify the quantity of each voucher and check the order total (if your purchase is only for vouchers, this is the total of the voucher that will be added to your profile). Amend quantities, if required, or begin the checkout process. (How do I check out?)

NOTE: There is no shipping cost for the order if it only consists of vouchers. There is however, a delivery charge for any physical items included when you place your order for the stationery packs (or any other products), and use your vouchers to pay. Standard delivery charges apply to any orders placed and paid for with vouchers.

What next?

Your voucher will be loaded to your profile within 24 hours of your purchase. If you do not receive an email confirmation in this time, please contact us. (Also see How do I use my vouchers?)

*REMEMBER: Simply Everything does not release any orders for delivery without full payment (we do not offer credit, but offer payment by credit card through Payfast). If you choose to pay for your packs in more than one month, please ensure that you are able to complete your order by the 30th November 2018 (with payment in full) for timeous delivery. Ordering processing begins once payment is received in full. (see above and also ‘Related questions’ below)

You can prepare for Back to School 2020, by purchasing vouchers from the end of December or January – eg. You can purchase a R200 voucher per month to have R2000 school packs paid for by the end of September. No delays, no stress. Send us an email for a monthly reminder to purchase your voucher so that you don’t forget. Prepaying makes life much less stressful. Click here to be sent a monthly reminder.
